Chapter 255: Second-level Pets

Crown thought for a moment and asked, "Is the pharmacy business now on track?"

The raw materials he chose for his formulas are all common herbs, and it would be easy to scale up if there were a stable supply channel for raw materials.

If we can find a decent herbalist to take over the business, the business should pick up soon.

Ordinary people are also a very important part of the church ecology, and it is also very important to improve their living environment as much as possible.

“We don’t have many herbalists, and the number of people willing to migrate to the new parish is still relatively small.

However, we have trained a large number of cooperative herbalists and now have a stable supply of herbs.

Next, I plan to build several medicinal herb planting bases..."

When talking about the industry, William became talkative and his eyes lit up.

When Crown heard the current progress, he nodded continuously.

Now that the initial investments have been completed, the industry is slowly beginning to pay off.

He is also the landlord of two blocks, and the rent every month is also a considerable income.

The interest-free loan provided by the Sith Family also includes more than 2,000 gold spirit coins, which is enough for two months of daily cash flow.

Clown still had about 4,000 gold spirit coins in his private treasury at his disposal, which was the wealth he had accumulated from purifying the spirit coins.

"These common medicines should not be limited to our parish, but can be expanded to the entire Rhine City. In addition, you should also contact those large commercial companies and try your best to expand the market for the medicine business."

The process of making medicines is relatively simple. It won’t be long before the huge returns brought by the low costs will attract the attention of interested parties, and more and more competitors will inevitably appear in the market.

Only by seizing the market in advance can we have greater voice.

He also briefly explained the concept of branding and advertising, and William's eyes lit up.

The housekeeper actually understood and comprehended such advanced concepts and took careful notes.

After instructing the butler, Crown met with Melissa again.

After the female knight saluted, she smiled and said, "Sir, I wonder if the butler has reported our training results to you?"

"If you mean the birth of two extraordinary people in the team, I already know that. You did a good job."

Melissa's smile grew even brighter. "The servants are training hard, and we have an adequate supply of logistical materials. The training is progressing faster than I expected. In four months at most, I will be able to achieve my goal and train more than thirty extraordinary people."

Crown nodded and smiled encouragingly:

"I'll wait and see, but you can't relax your progress."

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency," Melissa was very happy. This showed that she had already gained a certain status in the bishop's heart.

Clown briefly described the future situation and concluded: "This is the worst era. There will be more and more terrifying creatures in the future. Our situation has never been unsafe, but this is also the best era. The spiritual shackles have been opened, and we can achieve more brilliant achievements. As long as you work hard enough, nothing is impossible."

Melissa's heart was filled with emotion when she heard this. She herself wanted to restore the glory of her family. The more fragile the original order of the world was, the easier it would be for her to succeed.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Crown laughed: "When you complete our agreement, I will fulfill my promise and create better conditions for you.

The third-level bishop is just my starting point. In the future, I will need more capable subordinates. I hope you can keep up with me.

If you can do it, you will see a wider world. If you can't, then just be an ordinary extraordinary person."

His own strength grew too fast, resulting in the embarrassing situation of not having capable people at his disposal. Del and Melissa were okay at the moment, but it was uncertain about their future.

Melissa nodded heavily. She understood what the bishop meant. The third level was just the starting point. Doesn't that mean that the other party would at least advance to the fourth level? !

This is the fourth level! She heard that the Pope's strength is also at this level.

A fourth-level bishop may not become pope, but becoming a cardinal is a sure thing.

The two were chatting when William knocked on the door and walked in:

"Sir, there are two ladies outside who claim to be your friends. One of them calls herself Luo Lin, and the other one is called Li Ya."

Crown nodded: "Please let them in."

He was quite puzzled, wondering what the two people who had just separated not long ago wanted to talk to him about.

"Okay, I'll go and invite them in."

William secretly memorized the appearance of the two ladies in his mind, thinking that they must be old acquaintances of the bishop.

Melissa stood up and bowed. "Sir, please go ahead and I will continue to supervise the servants in their training."

The female knight was very perceptive and knew it was time for her to leave.

Clown waved his hand: "Go ahead. I hope you can bring me more surprises when I come back next month."

William led Lorraine and the other person in and closed the door carefully. He could see that they had something to say to the bishop, so it might not be convenient for him to stay any longer.

Clown smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming to sit with me today? You two have been in Hammers City for several months now, right?"

Luo Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but the work was too trivial and I couldn't figure it out."

In fact, they were worried that the bishop would think they were trying to make connections. The class circles of both parties had changed, and normally the distance between them would become greater and greater.

What's more, although they had been through life and death together, the time they spent together was too short.

Liya knew it was better to speak directly. A bishop didn't have time to chat with them. After a few pleasantries, she explained her purpose: "Sir, we are here to buy some golden light potions. I heard that they are very effective for spirit masters."

"You two have never used it?"

Liya and the other girl shook their heads at the same time and said in unison, "No."

Luo Lin said: "We heard Lady Lisa talk about this potion today."

Crown narrowed his eyes, he was suddenly very curious about where the Brotherhood would use the potion.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Luo Lin's heart skipped a beat and she explained, "Liya's and my spirit control have accumulated too many evil thoughts. Now we have severe auditory hallucinations. The purification array is too expensive and we can't afford it."

Even a low-level purification array would require seven or eight gold spirit coins, and the effect was not very good. It could only purify the spiritual pollution caused by evil thoughts, but could not eradicate the evil thoughts.

Clown said, "No problem. Each potion costs five gold spirit coins. I have one request. The potions can only be used by yourselves."

"Well, no problem," Liya nodded suddenly and said shyly:

"Let's buy four this time."

They wanted to buy two each to try out the effects, after all, neither of them was rich. She felt a little embarrassed that the transaction volume was too small.

"No problem, you can come to me directly if you need anything."

Klauen took out the golden potion and handed it to the other party.

Leah hurriedly stood up and took the potion, and Lorraine handed over the prepared purse with both hands.

. . . .

After seeing Lorraine and the other person off, Crown came to the pet room to check on Fokine and Buster.

These two pets are undergoing a crucial transformation. In a few days, he will have two more second-level extraordinary pets.

The crow did not pluck its feathers this time, but just molted normally. Crown found that the newly grown feathers were no longer black, but pure light gold.

The edges of its wings gleamed with a cold brass glow.

"Quack!"

When Fu Jin saw his master coming in, he barked excitedly.

It is now half a person's height, and the color of its eyes has turned into pure gold.

Crown touched Fujin's head and nodded with satisfaction. Judging from the current state, the crow had completed its transformation and became a second-level creature.

"That's right, add an extra bottle of talisman water tonight."

"Quack!"

Crown looked at the black cat again and found that it was still sleeping.

It had been sleeping for several days without waking up once. Its fat body had become much thinner and its breathing had become intermittent.

If Crown had not used his clairvoyance to discover that the black cat's vital signs were still strong, he would probably have thought that the other party could not make it through this level.

"Billy, prepare a big cage. I'm going to take Buster away when I leave."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If there is any emergency, he can respond in time.

Bathed in the spiritual light of the Golden Light Mantra during this period, the pets have undergone gratifying changes. From now on, he will take them with him when he meditates.

"Sir, I am ready."

Billy bowed and said that he was ready when he learned that the bishop was going out on a mission.

Nominally he was the bishop's personal valet, but in fact he spent more time taking care of these two pets.

"Very good," Crown praised, and then said, "This mission requires me to stay away from home for a month. I will be quite busy. You will follow me and take care of Fukin and Bast."

He needed to spend a lot of time refining mithril, and had no energy to take care of his pet.

"As you command, sir."

Billy's face lit up, as he had originally thought that he had failed in his job as a valet.

Logically speaking, he should be one of the bishop's most trusted people, but he was not qualified to follow the bishop. This made him feel very uncomfortable and he thought he might not be able to do the job for long.

He now suddenly felt that taking good care of these two pets would be a good idea. Due to long-term interaction, he and the pets had a very close relationship.

. . . .

Leah and the other returned to their residence, eager to test the efficacy of the medicine to see why Lisa recommended it.

Luo Lin smiled and said, "Together?"

"You go first, I'll observe your reaction first."

Luo Lin nodded and drank the potion without hesitation.

She understood that the captain was worried that if she had an adverse reaction, the other party could provide quick rescue.

After swallowing the golden talisman water, she immediately felt a warmth rising, followed by the terrified howl of the spirit master in her consciousness space.

Her heart moved, and her consciousness quickly entered the space of will. Then she saw the golden flame burning on Yu Ling's body and the black smoke rising.

When the golden flame disappeared, she seemed to find that the rich black color on Yu Ling's body had faded a little.

She opened her eyes and found Leah staring at her with wide eyes and concern.

Leah asked, "How's the effect?"

Luo Lin said excitedly: "Good, better than expected, Captain, please try it quickly."

"How good?"

"You'll know if you try it."

Leah drank the potion doubtfully.

. . . .

The next day, Crown returned to Rhine City by airship and met with the archbishop.

Flanders said, "I have asked a few friends, and they can help me gather six pounds of mithril. Normally, the amount of mithril used is not particularly large, and people rarely store large quantities. As you know, these things are too expensive."

"Thank you, Archbishop. You have many friends and connections."

Clown flattered him and his expression turned cold:

"The Brotherhood has actually suspended the trade of Mithril for potions. I plan to reduce their trade in the future."

No matter what the other party's reason was, it delayed his plan. He planned to maintain the agreed trading volume of 60 units in the future. After a few months, these dozens of medicines would not be provided.

Flanders frowned and asked, "How much mithril is still missing?"

He didn't expect such a change to happen.

"Including the six pounds you mentioned, there is still a shortfall of ten pounds," said Clown. Archbishop, mithril is such an important resource that our diocese should have its own team to manufacture it.

As far as I know, our normal supply of mithril is also controlled by the Brotherhood. If something unexpected happens, won't we be controlled by others?"

"I have considered this issue, but the cost of training alchemists is too high. It is far less expensive than buying them. Even if there is an emergency, there is enough mithril in the secret vault. We can borrow it from the Holy See or other dioceses.

How are you going to solve the remaining mithril shortage? Is there any solution?"

"I have been practicing alchemy intensively recently, and my level has improved rapidly. Now I can make mithril by myself."

Flanders gave him a rather strange look, then laughed and said, "I don't know how long it will take for you to accumulate enough."

Clown laughed: "If my efficiency is improved, it will be very fast."

"Okay, okay," the archbishop waved his hand, "At present, we can save about two pounds of mithril every month and put it into the secret vault. I will take the initiative to withhold it for a few months.

If everything goes well for you, that's great, but if it doesn't, there's a backup plan."

"Thank you, Archbishop."

Crown bowed, knowing that what the Archbishop was doing was against the rules.

"Archbishop, I will be heading to Lorente Town this afternoon. I wonder who I will be partnering with this time and if there is anything I need to pay attention to."

Flanders smiled and said, "We have arranged for you to meet someone you know - Bishop Savage. The person from the City Hall is Lord Griffin, and the one sent by the Brotherhood is Yennefer. You have met them several times.

The night in Lorente Town is a little special. The whispers of the evil god are already very obvious, and the attacks of the fishmen have become more threatening. You need to be more vigilant at night, and the daytime is your time to rest. "

This means I have to work night shifts for a month... Clown was a little worried. He wanted to spend more time refining mithril.

Even if the bishop helped him intercept two pounds of mithril every month, it would still take five months to collect the required mithril.

He couldn't wait and could only work harder on his own.

The star creatures in the alienated area are also becoming increasingly powerful. In five months, it is unknown how far they will grow.
